Norway’s Fred Olsen 1848 has hired Danish engineers Ramboll to fast-track the design of its next-generation Brunel floating wind concept, with an eye on tailoring the steel semisubmersible for first projects from next year.
Under the deal with the Oslo-based ‘innovation company’, Ramboll will serve as an independent consultant engineer, preparing preliminary input data for the final design, “which will speed the process for site-specific certification and implementation” when the concept moves into project-specific work.
